Basket of Babies

Purchased for my grand-daughter who requested it for Christmas. She was so excited when she opened the box! She is seven years old so I was surprised that she wanted them but they are so cute! They would be perfect even for someone a lot younger!

Gave to my 18 month old for christmas. She loves babies and she loves to dress them. The basket started to come unstitched the first day.

My daughter loves the babies and has been playing with them for months. We don't use the basket because it is flimsy. Overall, I recommend.

I read a lot about the importance of children having a baby doll both boys and girls, and a lot of the dolls out on the toy market seemed aimed at little girls, and I wanted something unisex/culturally diverse so I was happy to find Basket of Babies.

The babies come in a basket and wear little sleep sacks kids can take on and off (the hat stays on the baby). My son loves the doll wearing green and carries him everywhere, and likes to "tuck the babies" into bed.

Great toy for toddlers to preschool age.

Go Go Buddies Rock-a-bee

I bought two of these, one for my one 13 month old niece and one for my 10 month old nephew. They looked really cute pushing them around and getting excited about the lights.

SOFT BLACK SHEEP

I was pleasantly surprised when the toy arrived. It came from outside of the USA, and arrived earlier than expected. It is very soft and better than picture shows. PLUS, my granddaughter loved it!

Taggies Classic Take A Long Plush

These "Little Taggies" are just such a great idea for babies! My grandson who received it when he was just 5 months old, and is now 8 months loves taking his naps with this. He will just lay for the first few minutes of naptime looking, and feeling and chewing on all of the different textured little ribbons. I've always watched little ones find the tag on any blanket and rub and chew.......how great to have a whole blankie of tags! I would recommend this item to ANYONE who has children or grandchildren in their care.

The taggie is cute, the only thing I didn't like was the color. I purchased it for a boy and it definitely looks more pink than blue....deceiving in the picture.

The Art of CureTM Baltic Amber Baby Teething Necklace - Amethyst & Honey w/"The Art of Cure" Jewelr

My toddler is wearing this necklace often. The necklace is well made. I love how it looks on her. At first she gave a couple of attempts to remove it, now she does not even try to remove it since she realizes it is securely fastened. I will return to this seller.

I love this necklace. it helped my son with his teeth and made him more calm, as the amethyst does. BUT, this necklace came to me measuring 15 inches long. the description box says its 12-12.5 inches long. Thats what it should be. 15 is huge and fits on an adult. it is so long that my son can bring it up and chew on it and it is more of a choking hazard. Unfortunately, i have to return it and Amazon can not say if I were to order another one if it would be 15 inches again. So sad... I really like the necklace.

Alex Jr. First Pops Pop Beads

I bought these at the local educational toy store when my daughter was around 8 months old. She has enjoyed chewing on them, and likes swinging around a long string of them popped together. In the last month (she is now almost 12 months), several of them have lost their male ends, so there are lots of little choking hazards floating around. The plastic is thin, so I think the more you pop and unpop them, the more likely they are to fall apart, then you are left with trash. I have seen other brands of higher quality. If I buy any again, I will not get this brand.

This is a really cute set. My daughter loves the different textures, and of course she loves to chew on them. It's just a tad pricey for what you receive, but I'm happy overall.

While the beds are colorful and have good texture for manipulation. These particular beads are awful. The orange pieces in particular are too small as is a yellow piece. My son is 7.5 months old and was able to stuff a whole piece in his mouth in 2 seconds. I know he will not choke on it, but the piece could very easily get stuck. There are other brands that have larger pieces were mouthing it will not be a concern. THe idea of the toy is a great one, this particular one is too small and the plastic is not durable.

I bought the Pop beads for my cousin who will be a year old in April. While she's still too young to put them together, the various colors and textures spark her curiosity. She loved holding them and touching them, and chewing on them too! The product is durable and the pieces are fine for kids to chew on. Overall, I think it's a great toy!

Want Alex Jr. First Pops Pop Beads Discount?

I do not like to indulge my daughter in a huge number of toys, so I ponder and ponder then ponder some more on which ones I would like to give to her at certain ages. At 7 months we gave Alex Jr First Pops Beads to her and she did not care for them for several days. They are really hard to snap together and pull apart (maybe they loosen over time). I put them into a small saucepan and handed her a wooden spoon and she was so excited and happy to he make pops and beads soup. She loves the lid to the bin and we turned that upside down for her to pour her "soup" into. The colors are fun. Overall, for my child the products intention is not fun for her, but we found an alternative... If you are buying this at retail price you may want to think again.

8" Musical Pink Elliefumps Elephant

Absolutely cute for a baby gift. It plays music, so it'll probably only last for a short amount of time in that respect. I don't thnk you can change the batteries. Overall, I think it'll be something that a baby likes.

Tek Nek "Lucky" Plush Spring Horse

WE purchased this for our 3 1/2 year old daughter. She was torn between the Radio Flyer Spring Horse and the Furreal Butterscotch pony. This horse is a great combination of the best parts of each. It is soft and brushable, but she can still climb on and bounce. It sings and moves its mouth, so she can "feed" it all sorts of things. I was originally worried about durability and was quite happy to see that it easily supports my nine-year old as well. The two have even climbed on together without any worry.

Although I had been a strong Radio-Flyer customer, with their increase in production in China, I think that Tek Nek has produced a better product and am happy to have purchased it.

We bought this horse last Christmas for our youngest grandson who was then 3. We put it together and didn't think it would last very long....were we WRONG?? The horse is a very much loved toy and as he has a brother 2 years older and a sister 3 years older it is in CONSTANT use daily!!! Both the boys are autistic and the abuse this horse has taken is nothing short of a miracle!!! He still talks etc. and he is jumped on and used as a spring board to fly over his head onto the couch or any other soft landing place they can find. I have even seen him standing on his head!! I wish every toy we bought held up HALF as well. It was worth many times what we paid for it.

Buy Tek Nek "Lucky" Plush Spring Horse Now

I purchased this horse for my daughter's 3rd birthday, and she loves it. My older daughter is almost 5, and she loves it as well. After reading other reviews, I'm guessing that the model has changed slightly, since the batteries are now easily located in a hidden pocket right along the horse's mane. We haven't had problems with the buttons in the ears making sounds, although I find that my girls don't care much about the sounds anyway. We've had this horse for about a month.

The one thing I wanted to mention was a problem with the assembly instructions. When putting the horse together, be sure to place the red tube spring covers onto the bars before attaching the horse! The instructions don't tell us to put the covers on until AFTER the horse is attached, and then it is too late and everything has to be disassembled, which is a lot of effort. Hopefully this error in the instructions will be corrected soon.

The horse is surprisingly light, and can easily be moved to different rooms.

My kids also climb all over the horse, and stand on it's back (while holding on to the bars.) If your child is very young and you worry about them climbing without supervision, then you may want to wait a bit.

Otherwise, a great horse! My kids play with this horse dailymuch more than any other toy they've ever had. We also received it in CA from Amazon with free Super Saver Shipping in just three days!

My little girl loves it, but they offer a version that runs about $ cheaper that doesn't come with the saddle. Get that one! The saddle never stays on anyway! It is just fabric held on with one little piece of velcro and it always slides around. I do love the toy. The songs and phrases make it fun for my daughter and her friends. They love to watch the mouth move (the songs WILL get stuck in your head, though:)

You can see the full specs on this toy at the manufacturer's website at http://www.teknektoys.com/pc-1056-7-rock-n-ride-lucky-deluxe-spring-horse.aspx

This toy requires 3 double AA batteries to work. So, if your sound stops working check to see if the batteries need replacing. The battery pack is located where the on off switch is on the underneath side of the horse. This is a very good play horse for kids age 18 months to 4 years. I feel it develops leg muscles and teaches coordination of movement. It also teaches horse sounds, associating the sound with the animal. My grandson loves it.

Infantino Bug Buddies 2-in-1 Activity Mirror

Nice toys, but the mirror is too flexible and therefore when you look in it you feel like you are drunk. We covered the mirror part up with a picture of us instead, so that our son can still paly with the toys.

I ordered this mirror because it was compact and had a cute bug theme. When I received it I couldn't believe how distorted the mirror was. I know it has to be a safety mirror but what use is it if the baby can't tell what they are looking at. It was worse than a funhouse mirror. I returned it because I didn't want to risk my baby's vision.

I got this mirror for my son's crib, and to be honest he never engaged with it in the crib at all. When I took it out and gave it to him on the floor, however, he thought it was awesome. He likes the rattle in the dragonfly and the reflective surface. I like the sturdy construction and light weight that makes it safe for him to play with.

Perfect. Nice size, not overwhelming in the crib. The mirror is not an actual mirror, but a safe reflection, totally funtional. Be sure to take off the plastic protective cover. The colors are vibrant and attract the attention of our baby. The bugs are attached with velcro and a string. We cut the strings off so our baby could play with the toy. It frustrated him, that he couldn't take it off. We bought this when he was an infant, he's nine months now and still loves it.

Delta Cars Toddler Bed

I agree that this bed is a sturdy bed. Putting the bed together took quite some time as the bolts that went into the metal bars did not line up and the metal clips in the plastic ends had been incorrectly placed and had to be pushed into correct position (I have put together many items from Ikea and am handy with tools and still found the task VERY frustrating!). If I was a single mom putting this together I would recommend doing it at night without an anxious toddler waiting, and expect it to take over an hour.

Also the cars pictures are stickers that do not stick on well and get pulled off by pillows or sheets being pushed around near them. Do not try to tuck in a comforter or thick blanket at the end of the bed as it will bend the plastic end piece.

The bed has held up well and shows no weakness, but the stickers are now gone.

I would not recommend this to anyone who has an active curious toddler who moves things around a lot or might tear off stickers if they start to pull away from the bed.

My wife and I bought this bed for our two year old son. We have had the bed for two weeks now and nothing but good dreams so far. I had some problems with screws lining up but beyond that set up was easy. I would recommend this to any parent worried about thier toddler tearing the bed up from being to rough.

I got this bed for my son when he turned two and was climbing out of his crib but not big enough (and we couldn't afford) a twin size bed.

Two years later, it's going strong! He weighs about 30 lb, I weigh 120 and we both sit on it each night when we read stories. I've had two adults and my son on it without issue. My son is beginning to outgrow it now, mainly because he tosses and turns so much at night but for the price it was totally worth the buy. He's four and still not too long or too big for it. He just moves too much.

I don't recall having too much trouble putting it together either. I would buy it again in a heartbeat!

I bought this bed for my 17 month old and he loves it! I make sure none of my kids jump on it and that it is in a room that the kids aren't rough housing, but I think it could take some rough housing, but maybe not jumping. I feel it is very study and my son loves sleeping in his big boy bed and hasn't fallen out once! Overall a good buy!

I bought mine from a local Sears. Same product. Bed was easy to put together. I am not handy. It took me 45 minutes but for most handy dudes it would have been about 20 min. All the screws lined up. However, some screws went in easier. All screws were vacuum sealed in one handy cardboard piece. No bags. Alll screws were labeled. Our 2 year old loves it. "Big boy bed" is what he calls it. Highly recommended.

Shelcore Sound Beginnings Touch 'N Teach Blanket

i think this is an educational toy but my baby didn't like to play with it, he's 1 yr old, he seems scared of the pictures. i liked it because of it being colorful, but when my baby steps on it, he ignores it. also, the placing of some of the pictures and the buttons are not aligned.

The blanket is actually a lot smaller than I had hoped. Amazon should include the dimensions in the description.

This was a great hit! Once we figured out how to get it to work, it was fantastic. I loved the way it did numbers when they were pressed upon, and saying the alphabet. I also liked the fact it was soft and the way it's designed gives you plenty of different things to work on learning.

Negative is it's not loud enough, and the pressure points and the letters/numbers didn't align. It is also smaller than it appears in the picture.

This blanket is nice and bright and plays quite a few different songs. I did find like other reviewers that some of the buttons were not aligned properly. Most of them I could scoot into place but there was one that didn't want to move. The blanket is 29" x 29" so it's not as small as I was afraid it would be from other reviews. The baby liked looking at all the colors and as she gets older I think she'll like pushing on the different spots and getting it to play music. For the cheap price it was definitely worth it.

VTech - Pull 'N Learn Lion

My daughter (9mts) enjoys the bright flashing colors of the lion and the nodding head of the lion. She has not yet graduated to grasping all the info the toy has to offer.

Does seem very educational (teaches shapes, alphabets and colors).

The music seems pretty loud and so I put some scotch tape over the speakers. Helps marginally to reduce the sound.

I bought this for my son, he is 3. He loves it, he calls it his kitty cat and loves to pull it around. Great product at a great value + very educational.

Baby Playzone Push N Glide Driver

My son started playing with this toy when he was six months old and absolutely loved it and still likes it. It helped motivate him to crawl but this toy should be a playpen toy (I had hardwood floors) or you should not allow your child to play with it unless you are right there because (as another review said) my son will also reach his arms out and the toy flips up and hits him in the face. This toy may be much better on carpet but probably won't slide as well. Great toy...with close supervision.

I bought this for my daughter who is 10 months old, and she LOVES it! She is just starting to crawl and cruise, and this toy gives her hours of enjoyment. It has an off switch and 2 volume levels, which is very nice for me. It's just a great toy!

Manhattan Toy Peek Activity Toy

My baby absolutely loves this toy! It has rubber feet to teeth on, a rattle ring, a crunchy noised blueberry on the monkey's tummy (my son loves that noise), a MIRROR under the blueberry, etc etc! There are just so many different aspects to this toy! There is even a loud squeaker in one of the ears that actually sounds like a monkey.

We did have a problem with the first one we bought where the little green leaf sewn onto the blueberry detached (!!!), but after contacting Manhattan Toy, they were more than happy to replace it and said that they had never heard of that happening before. They had me send them the original monkey so their QC department could inspect it.

The toy has a pink strap on the back of the monkey's neck with velcro at the end, this makes it possible to hang on things (i.e. a toy bar, the handle to an infant carseat, a stroller canopy, etc. Very versatile!

When my now 4 month old son was very small, he loved to look up at the Monkey and he would smile at its face. He still is enthralled with the monkey's face and now also loves to play with all the different toys on the monkey. Definitely a great toy!

I'm not sure who likes this monkey more, me or my 2 month old. Monkey usually rides in her carseat with her. She especially loves to look into his face and talk to him. She also loves grabbing all the little rings and attachments to hold or to eat. She has fallen asleep more than once while petting his soft little head or leg. Lastly all the textures are fantastic. She especially loves his crinkly ear. Right now she isn't impressed with very many toys, but she loves this monkey! Quality product at a great price!

Maple Teethers

My 7 month old daughter LOVES these! I also have 3 of the Waldorf teethers and I like these much better. They are smoother and don't require waxing. These are very easy for her to grab and get into her mouth.

These are gorgeous -very well made. My baby is just 4 months old and isn't too interested in them yet (she's just learning to grab and her little mouth doesn't quite fit around the teether)...but I bet she'll really love them in a couple months. If you're looking for a reasonably priced Waldorf-type teether (these are JUST as good quality as the super expensive Waldorf teethers I've seen) buy this. And I'm not easily pleased.

Yes there is no finish on it, but that is what you want, you do not want this riddled with chemicals, be glad it does not have a finish on it. It is not rough it is smooth. I put 1 drop of clove oil to 2 tablespoon organic extra virgin olive oil then rub that on the toy, the clove oil help to numb the mouth naturally ( you MUST use olive oil no water with the clove oil and use no less then 2 tablespoons to 1 drop ).

These teethers are unbelievably smooth and made of a very hard maple; there's no chance of splintering, a concern of mine before they arrived. I love that each teether is slightly different in its shape and wood grain, a real handmade item (or at least it appears to be handmade, as each is unique). They're a perfect size to fit in a baby's small hands, and the angled or rounded edges are just right for fitting between a baby's sore gums. Each comes with a tiny stamp with the name of the maker in Vermont and the date it was made--ours are stamped with 6/10, which means they were made only a month ago. We have a baby who is just starting to teeth, and he likes gnawing on these. Good all-natural product--I'm glad we purchased them.

Wonderworld Twisty Crab

My son totally loves this toy. We brought him to the toy shop and he chose this among the other toys for his 1st birthday. He walks his twisty crab around the house a lot. The design gets a tot's attention very well. He has always played this toy with adult supervision because of the small wooden rings that are attached to the eye area. My husband fears that they might get unfastened and this is a choking hazard. This morning, my son was playing with it and he pulled the rings. They came undone. If you are planning to buy this, it's important that someone is watching the toddler every minute he's playing with this.

great toy for the ones that love to push and pull anything, very sturdy, would definitely recommend this great toy
